JANNAF subcommittees focus their resources on technical issues of interest to the JANNAF agencies.
Work in all areas of DoD and NASA are solicited as defined below:
6.1 Basic Research: Systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications toward processes or products.
6.2 Applied Research: Systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding necessary to determine the means by which a recognized and specific need may be met.
6.3 Development: Systematic application of knowledge toward the production of useful materials, devices, and systems or methods, including design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet specific requirements.

SCOPETo learn more about the scope of the standing JANNAF subcommittees at this meeting, please review the information provided below and on pages 6 - 17.
JANNAF Propulsion MeetingThe JANNAF Propulsion Meeting (JPM) encompasses research and applications at the systems level. The JPM is held each year in conjunction with standing JANNAF subcommittee meetings on a rotating basis. The scope of the 67th JPM in 2019 spans seven mission areas.
Programmatic and Industrial BaseThe JANNAF Programmatic and Industrial Base (PIB) Committee was created with the approval of the JANNAF Charter by the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 2014. Its focus is on providing a mechanism for DoD and NASA to collaboratively identify and manage risks and issues within the propulsion industrial base, and to work together to solve them. This requires an integrated understanding of each program's plans and key decision points, and how those decisions may impact the propulsion industrial base. PIB areas of interest include integrated program plans and key decision points; industrial base assessments; risks and opportunities with respect to skills, knowledge, and experience; identification of commonality, innovative acquisition, and partnership opportunities; integrated assessments to identify rocket propulsion industrial base (RPIB) rationalization opportunities; special actions from senior agency, department, or Executive

Mission Area VII: System-wide Application of Additive Manufacturing for Propulsion ApplicationsChair: Mr. James L. Cannon, NASA MSFC / Huntsville, ALTelephone: (256) 544-7072Email: [email protected]
This area focuses on the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM)as an enabling technology from both an organizational and a systems perspective. Additive manufacturing is critical for reducing manufacturing time and cost to produce specific components for propulsion systems, and multiple JANNAF Subcommittees are addressing the specific application challenges within their areas. Affordability is a critical element for both government and commercial systems. New and innovative manufacturing techniques are working their way into mainstream manufacturing. Before additive manufacturing is widely accepted for general use, it is necessary to understand the technology well enough to proceed with a high level of confidence. This Mission Area emphasizes how the various JANNAF organizations are planning to address the challenges of integrating AM into propulsion systems. What are the synergies between the JANNAF organizations’ AM plans and the AM centers of excellence such as America Makes (as well as others)? How are the JANNAF organizations addressing the integration of AM hardware into existing or new systems? Other areas to consider are overall cost considerations and ROI when incorporating AM hardware into new systems.
Papers should address AM technology roadmaps (government, industry, AM centers), AM integration challenges, strategies for incorporating AM hardware into new or existing systems, and economic considerations.
Additive Manufacturing Technology: • Government AM Technology Road Maps/Plans • AM Centers of Excellence Technology Road Maps/Plans • Industry AM Technology Road Maps • Synergy between roadmaps, what is missing? • Challenges for incorporating AM hardware into systems • Economic considerations of incorporating AM hardware into
new systems • Are we investing enough into AM? • Are we investing in the right areas?

WORKSHOPS/SPECIALIST SESSIONSRecommendations for workshops or specialist sessions are solicited at this time. Individuals interested in organizing and chairing a workshop or specialist session should contact the JHU WSE ERG Technical Staff member in their respective subcommittee by the Extended Deadline of 6 January 2020.
WorkshopsThe JANNAF Workshop is reserved for bringing the community together to address a specific task or problem, the outcome of which is important and substantial enough to warrant the publication of a final report detailing the discussions, conclusions, and recommendations that resulted from the workshop.
Requirements for JANNAF workshops and established best practices can be found in the JANNAF Workshop Guide for Chairs; this document will guide you through the planning and approval process for workshops held at a JANNAF meeting.
To request a workshop you must submit a Workshop Request Form to your JHU WSE ERG Technical Representative (see pages 6 - 17 for contact information) or the JANNAF Meeting Planning Team at [email protected]. This form must be submitted to ERG by Monday, 6 January 2020. The agenda and invitation list is due Monday, 10 February 2020 for inclusion in the Preliminary Program, and must be approved no later than Monday, 6 April 2020 for inclusion in the Final Program.
Specialist SessionsA JANNAF specialist session is an opportunity for experts in a specific technical area to meet to stimulate ideas and contributions from the audience. These sessions are dedicated to a single topic and often include invited presentations. The organization of these sessions is similar to a regular JANNAF paper session with time allocated to individual presentations; however, specialist sessions often include moderator led discussion periods or a question and answer session with expert panelists. Unlike a regular JANNAF paper session, the presentations from specialist sessions may or may not be published as part of the meeting proceedings. Publication can include an executive summary authored by the session chair if desired.
To request a Specialist Session for this JANNAF meeting, a Specialist Session Request Form must be submitted to JHU WSE ERG. This form requires a statement of justification for the Specialist Session along with a well thought out agenda. Requests will be reviewed by the designated JANNAF subcommittee TSG chair and ERG for approval; this approval is necessary for any Specialist Sessions to be included in the Final Program.
The Extended deadline for submission of a Specialist Session request is 6 January 2020, and forms must include a draft agenda. If you have any questions about planning a Specialist Session please contact your ERG Technical Liaison or the JANNAF Meeting Planning Team at [email protected].
